Sister Johnson goes to Arkansas!

3x the blessings!! I got to go to church three times this Sunday! All right in a row. :) Our ward is giant and so supportive, and it was awesome to meet so many of them. We have some people  on our team  who are going to help us out a lot! My favorite part though was taking the sacrament three times. It got me really thinking about what I was doing and what it means. When you take the sacrament, you are witnessing to God that you always remember Jesus Christ. Imagine how your life would change if you truly remembered Jesus Christ  always . I think that would help me more than just about anything. Too often I get focused on things that don't really matter. So I'm on a quest to remember Him more. Let me know if you have any wisdom on how to do that! ( liberty.johnson@missionary.org ) 2 Thanksgivings 🦃🥧 Best Thanksgiving ever!!! We were  stuffed.  Twice. Lunch was with the Williams. They got baptized about a month ago and are so sweet. They have such big hearts, ...

  God is so good.  I moved to Bentonville on Thursday. It was HARD to say goodbye. Springfield is my home, and I love the people there with all my heart. Before I left this week, Will told us he was ready to talk about baptism next time the missionaries came over! And Gloria led us in the most beautiful Bible study on forgiveness. And my good friend Tyler taped up my suitcase wheel for me even though he was positive it wouldn't help. And the Courseys took us out for the yummiest tacos. And Sister Salmons made me chocolate pancakes in the shape of a smiley face. Guys, I have such good friends!  It was hard to leave, and I was not about it. But I LOVE IT HERE!! Like, actually. How did God know? There are such awesome people here that I already feel a connection with.  My first full day here, we helped Angela fix a fence for her horses. Hyrum would have been so proud of me. It took us ages and Bishop Homer did more than any of us, but we made a dang good fence! An...

Good morning! My amazing companion, Sister Salmons, showed me a scripture this week (D&C 43:15-16) that I've been pondering alot. It says,  "Again I say, hearken ye elders of my church, whom I have appointed: Ye are not sent forth to be taught, but to teach the children of men the things which  I have   put into your hands by the power of my Spirit ; And ye are to be taught from on high. Sanctify yourselves and ye shall be endowed with power, that ye may give even as I have spoken." Isn't that good? Email me any insights you have of what it means. :) God has put a lot of things in my hands. SUCH wonderful people for me to help and learn from. Let me tell you about some of them.  - I went on an exchange with an absolute legend on Wednesday. She taught me a lot about Jesus Christ. She has a lot going on in her life and really hard things happening with her family at home. But we went to a lesson, and the lady we were teaching opened up to us about super h...

  Good morning! Guys, God is so good. Let me tell you about some incredible things that happened this week.  We've been working with this dear lady for months. She's a member but hasn't gone to church in years. Last week we met her son, and he is so open. He loves Jesus Christ and His gospel and is an honest seeker of truth. We were teaching them about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how the fulness of the gospel is in the Book of Mormon, and we promised them that as they read the Book of Mormon it would sharpen their minds and the Spirit would help them know the book is true and from God. Those promises are being fulfilled! They're both reading in the Book of Mormon every day. She came to church yesterday and was just beaming. Yesterday, we met with another lady in our ward who I LOVE. She hasn't gone to church in years and just gets so down on herself. Memories from her past and mistakes she makes every day haunt her and make her feel not eno...

HAPPY NEVADA DAY!!! ⭐⭐⭐ I have been so excited. I sang the Nevada state song to all my friends. I'm sure they've loved it. 😊 Y'all, the Lord is leading us to people who will let God prevail in their lives. It's been so cool to see God's hand this week help us find people to work with. Let me tell you about some of my friends:   WILL-- We went to visit Donna, this cute lady we're helping come back to church. Her son was there, and was so interested. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he loved it and wants us to come back.  JENNIFER-- Jennifer used to meet with missionaries years ago. She is a lot of fun! She's had bad experiences with church in the past but loves to learn. She seemed willing to read the Book of Mormon, and we're going to do genealogy work with her this week.  JAKE-- Crazy story, he came to church!!! Missionaries have been volunteering where he works for years, and we've talked religion a lot. He's just nice and ...
